The solidity of the roadbed, the weight of

disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause Of the trouble,

purely healthy condition. A bottle kept

"The Devil and the Deep Sea. -

The old story OF the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea-" gets a new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
heslth--poor appetite, dis0rdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back. and every now and then right
hard chill. followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
frst-and so kept doing all alOng-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between tine two. her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and II is called some other 'ine' in
place of Quinine, but it Is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen l tried them. They were sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her TO perfect health,
and left no trace Of disease OF drug pols-

One of the remedies suggested by the
governor for the temporary relief OF the
state treasury, which has now anticipated
one-third as much of next years taxes as
was anticipated last year. is that 25 per

the present embarrassment is overcome.
This will not affect the police or poor funds
OF any locality. Under the Dow law
three-fourths OF the tax goes TO
the police aud poor funds. equally divided,
and the other fourth TO the general revenue

DR.. Falconer. of the First Presbyterian
church, from his pulpit last Sunday morn
ing, expressed his hearty approval OF the
editorial In Saturdays GLoBR-REPCBLIc,
in reference 10 the Sunday issue,
emphasizing the reason given by
the editors, viz--''that for them
1t was q physical and moral wrong
to continue the publication The Doctor
said that his views on the Sunday question"
were well known, and that he was glad, on
all occasions. to advocate them He said
that ''all questions of social amusements
during weekdays dwindled into inslgnlfi-
canoe in comparison with ten
dency to deny the claims of
God upon the Sabbath" He was glad
to report the action OF the GLoBERErUB-
Lie, and hoped that all Christian families
would rejoice with him. In reference TO
the delay necessarily oecasioned by pres
ent contracts" DIR. Falconer suggested that
IL any of his members were party to any
of those contracts, they should proceed at
once to make the delay as short as possible.
On the same matter, Dr. Fullerton, of
the Second Presbyterian church, said that
he was very glad to commend publicly the
decision of zone of our city papers" to dis
continue it's Sunday edition, and alse the
reasons given for taking the step. He con
sidered it a step in the right direction-One
that deserves the commendation of both

would be better for the land and for the
csase Of religion if there were no papers
published at all on Sunday.
